Mobile network operators in 2008
A worsening global economic environment and pressure on business and consumer finance will have a negative effect on the mobile market in 2008. In the short term, this implies that the market will, at best, experience a slow start. This new reality, in which the heady days of market growth are over, is a depressing outlook for mobile network operators (MNOs). In their maturing businesses, they will need to focus on increasing their revenue and reducing their cost and investment profiles. Analysys Research anticipates that a number of mobile players will take a critical look at their major capital and discretionary spend.Retrenchment and restructuring may well follow, and there could be a number of casualties. Below, we outline our views on the evolution of three key areas for MNOs over the course of 2008.

Well an interesting article. Mobile operators will have to pull up their socks. They have to look for more volumes in low prices. Global economy will for sure effect the Indian operators.
No dude! Less job opportunities in this sector. Cant you read the article, look into investments and discretionary expenses.
yeah, i agree with you pradeep. Nowdays competiion is hard and with such slow start only major players may survive such casualties, and overall common will be the only sufferer...
I hope this issue wont affect consumers...
increasing revenue and reducing call rates, this is not so easy. subscribers of Big companies like Airtel may suffer if the services get costlier
i dont think this would harm any one.
As the competition gets stiff for Mobile network companies. They need to be focused and more pro active.
Does this means that mobiles will costing more...??
this may be not good for consumers, i think, mobile operators must slash rates to get more subscription and they should spread their network in rural areas as well...
I dont think that this issue will affect any users or consumers, but mobile companies must do something so that they can retain their users for long term.
